    The river that gave its name to a metropolitan area originates three kilometers from Winterberg. The Ruhr rises from the Ruhrkopf, a 696-meter-high mountain, in a small forest protected by nature. Below the source is a memorial stone and a circular path that invites visitors to take a short break. From its source in Winterberg to its mouth in Duisburg, the Ruhr is 219 kilometers long. Important trails such as the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path and the Rothaarsteig Trail pass by the source of the Ruhr.
